Album:Rewind: Unreleased Recordings
It was recently announced a collection of rare J.J. Cale (not to be confused with Velvet Underground's John Cale) tracks from his early years will be released October 2nd, according to his publicist.The compilation, entitled ??Rewind: Unreleased Recordings??, showcases Cale as one of the originators of not just the "Tulsa Sound":TS, but of modern rock as we know it.
??J.J. Cale??The tracks had been under the care of Cale's longtime producer, Audie Ashworth, since they were recorded in the '70s and early '80s. After Audie passed away in 2000, Ashworth's wife Bonnie stepped in as guardian of the tapes. More than a decade has been spent trying to bring these recordings out of storage and into the hands of Cale's devoted fans but a variety of circumstances long delayed their release.Bonnie Ashworth explains:"We feel the time is right to share these recordings with J.J. Cale's fans. We are very excited to have found a home for them with Time Life. They released the critically-acclaimed DVD To Tulsa And Back: On Tour With J.J. Cale last year, and we believe this is a great fit for this project as well."
??W/ Eric Clapton(right)??J.J. Cale is considered one of the more influential singer-songer writers of modern times. The list of artists who have covered his work is impressive to say the least. Some of the more notable names include: Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Santana, Jerry Garcia, The Band, Bryan Ferry, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Captain Beefheart, Widespread Panic and Waylon Jennings. Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton both attribute much of their sound to Cale's influence. Read more about J.J.
